California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered a statewide address on Tuesday in the wake of immigration operations that sparked days of protest in Los Angeles and the deployment of hundreds of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to the area by President Trump.
Democrats were walking a line between criticizing the White House for sending troops to put down protests in L.A. and the violence that Trump says caused him to act.
Despite the curfew, people are still coming to downtown LA for protests against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Many more are expected for today’s “No Kings” event.
Protesters gathered in the area outside of the curfew zone, but there were still some confrontations when police moved to break up a crowd of several hundred people. An unlawful assembly was declared around 6:30 p.m. and according to the Los Angeles Police Department, 71 people were arrested on suspicion of failure to disperse.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted workers on produce farms in Ventura County Tuesday morning in one of the latest raids.
Mayor Karen Bass says people involved in causing damage during anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles will be prosecuted.
LA residents who surveyed the damage after the protests on June 8 were disillusioned by what unfolded in their city and feared what might come next.
